Staff record
staff is the non-playing subtype of person: people this export decoded as staff
rather than as players. It is only one of the three places a career can live. Plenty of well-known managers
have no staff row at all — some are stored as players, and many sit in
person_unclassified, whose subtype the decoder could not determine. Whichever table a person
is in, their jobs come from staff_history joined to job_type, which is the table
below.

Ability and the three reputations are the raw game figures, which run to roughly 200 rather than to 20 —
they are printed exactly as stored and nothing is converted. coaching_qualification is a badge
level with no lookup table in the export, so it is shown as the stored number and no name is invented for it.

Football Manager's own game-start calculations from the attributes above, ported from the game's rules by the enriched overlay (method in each value's tooltip). Coaching scores use the game's FM22 training categories applied to every release and leave out the secondary-job and injury reductions; a dash is a value the rule had no input for, and board members have no reputation label.
